Oh Leicester is just not clicking this season or they don't have enough luck to win matches, they had the lead for most of the match but Napoli got a draw in last few minutes.

I think Leicester were sloppy last night, they had that victory in their hands but they couldn't take it over the finish line, I'm pretty sure Brendan Rodgers must have been absolutely livid with his players in the dressing room at full time. If they must have a chance to be Europa League champions, then they ought to learn how to finish off games when they actually have the chance.

Having said that, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen played a very good game yesterday, and he got two goals for his efforts, he is a very good striker, though he prolly is yet to live up to expectations since moving to Napoli for a large sum of money, but he showed glimpses of what he can do last night and I'm pretty sure with time he'll start firing on all cylinders.

What do you guys think about West Ham vs Dinamo Zagreb? Will the Hammers be able to beat best croatian side at their home? I am riding West Ham as Hammers attack will be the in-form beast Mitchel Antonio who I think has a good physicality and finish to score goals just hope they also don't allow Zagreb to find some room easily inside their box and allow to score some goals. Its first match for Hammers into European action and I expect David Moyes side to make the best first impression.

west ham has shown its quality in the first match by defeating dynamo zagreb at home with scorer 0-2, I think moyes experience in coaching several teams that have played in european competition so far has really helped westham to win, currently westham is the leader of the European league group H standings with 3 points and from the available stats, the Hammers had almost 68% possession and were even able to create some scoring chances.

As Dinamo fan I watched the game and it was really exhausting to watch it. West Ham controlled the entire game, but it didn't dominate Dinamo. It was clear who is better team at the field, but I thought that West Ham would attack more. What surprised me the most, West Ham didn't create much in front of Dinamo's goal and they scored both goals after "gifts" from Theophile-Catherine and Šutalo.

I guess Dinamo will try to find it's chances in matches against Genk and Rapid.

Don't forget, there are still 8 other team from the Champions League who fail to qualify for the next round will return to the Europa League. Napoli will probably be the favorites to lead the group C standings as they are quite strong so far. But for the next round I think the match will be more difficult. In group C Leicester also don't seem to be underestimated even though at the moment they are not in the best form in the Premier League, they will try to stay competitive in the European League.

These teams that will join later from CL aren't top either and a team like Napoli or Leicester (once they woke up) could challenge them easily..
Maintaining a positive result and a clean sheet were a hard mission yesterday and teams like Frankfurt, Celtic, Dinamo, OM and Lazio were able to do way better in this first round.

Leicester is not doing great in Premier league with two loses, Napoli is in top form with 3 wins in Seria A, and it is going to be hard for anyone from group C to win in Italy.
If I would pick one favorite to win Europe League this season it would be Napoli.

The most important thing is whether Napoli will be able to maintain such excellent form for the whole season and whether the depth of the squad is enough for the team to also successfully perform in the Europa League in the presence of a bunch of competitors in the Europa League itself, as well as then the teams from the Champions League who took third places in the group. In any case, it is only the beginning of the season and it is unknown how the situation will develop further and the clubs from the Europa League need to pray that Unai Emery and his Villareal will remain in the Champions League and not return back to the Europa League, because we all know perfectly well what name the winner of the tournament will bear Grin

It's too early to say that the candidate for champion is Napoli, I think Napoli still doesn't have the criteria to win this tournament. If Napoli can prove to be a champion candidate, then at least against Leicester last night they can win big. But the truth is, Napoli are only able to draw and to reach the final will certainly pass many other top teams which I don't think Napoli have that chance.

I am glad that Galatasaray surprised many fans today and unexpectedly won a difficult match against Lazio. I haven't watched the match but the stats look like it had a big element of luck (shots on target 1-5). In any case, an excellent result. Fenerbahce achieved an away draw, which must also be recognized as a success. I hope the misadventures of the Turkish clubs ended there and then we will see a good game from them.

I know you are from Russia, therefore, you must understand the nuances around the Spartak team, especially in the 21-22 season, which is an anniversary for it. Fans will forgive the poor results with Leicester and Napoli, but the defeat to Legia (and most likely not the last) has already caused a huge amount of negativity towards the club's management today.

@KTChampions, I think that Spartak turned into biggest joke in Russia. Poor results not just in Europe, but in domestic league too.I don't even talk about what's going on in their management. You're from Russia, so you probably know things better than me. I just feel sorry for Spartak fans.

Sure

The clowning around the club continues and if the results were normal, it could be tolerated, but now the fans are simply bitter and openly hate the owner's mistress who meddles in club affairs, she also does not seek to calm the situation and all this accumulates like a snowball. Obviously this is not good for the team.

no chance, turkish teams filled with ex premier league stars since few years ago and it still didnt bring european title come closer, nice result for both turkish clubs though, ozil shining...
nothing really surprising except for the unlucky lazio , the two italian teams got a result they never wanted... poor lazio and lucky napoli with its comeback.

its getting hard to guess who gonna win the title this season, every clubs seems equal.

It turns out that I predicted the result of Galatasaray v Lazio match quite wrong. Grin

I was expecting Lazio to defeat them but they couldn't even score one goal. Galatasaray managed to win this match by a 1-0 score. However the goal was really funny. It can be the worst day of Strakosha's life that he couldn't catch a very easy ball and scored an own goal.

It was an unpredictable result for me too lazio did not deserve to lose especially in the second half they dominated with 5 shots on target unlicky for them a mistake was made by the keeper they have a problem relaying on immobile and when he is out they find difficulties they lack the finishing touch and their striker muriqi is not doing great in these last couple of seasons

Leicester - Napoli game was one of the interesting games tonight. According to the statistics, Napoli were much better compared to Leicester. They missed so many opportunities. Even though they were better, Leicester got ahead 1-0 and scored the second one also. After seeing 2-0, it would be the end of the road for Napoli. But they were not intending to give up easily. With Osimhen's goals, they made a superb comeback and managed to get one point by 2-2.

Leicester - Napoli was really great game. Foxes were leading 2:0, but Napoli managed to make comeback and game ended 2:2. Napoli attacked more, but I think draw is deserved result.
Seems that I overestimated Eintracht too much - they failed to beat Fenerbahche.
Lyon won in Glasgow 2:0 against Rangers, but I think result don't reflect game because they didn't played much better.
Betis - Celtic game was quite crazy with 7 goals and Betis comeback.

I was able to watch almost the entire 2nd 45 minutes of Leicester City vs Napoli's game, It was quite an interesting game with a lot of attacking intent from both side, Napoli earned a well the deserved draw in the end but both goals almost came from nothing spectacular, other than Victor Osimhen incredible goals, Leicester seem like the better side, they also had a goal ruled out for offside.

Leicester City vs Napoli is interesting to watch. The end of the match was interesting, they both had different fates in the last match in the league. Napoli won 2-1 over Juve and Leicester City lost with Manchester City 0-1. My guess, Leicester City will win 1-0 because they are playing at their home. Moreover, supported by the fans, it will make Napoli a little afraid.

How did you know that Leicester city will win by 1-0.

But the match was still underway. The match ended in a 2-all draw. So the prediction is invalid. Napoli had to come from two goals down to draw. I was lucky to watch the thrilling match

I must admit that Galatasaray really surprised me by getting a win against Lazio today. Galatasaray were having big defensive problems and I thought that they would be in a big trouble against a strong opponent like Lazio. Actually, Lazio really found many goal chances. But still Galatasaray resisted them till the end. By the way, the goal was just hilarious. Cheesy

It was really unfortunate for Strakosha that he couldn't catch the ball coming downwards. And we watched only one goal which was boring.

Fenerbahce got ahead 1-0 with Ozil's goal but Frankfurt equalized the score in the last minutes of the first half. Now we are in the second half. Frankfurt scored the second a little time ago but it was cancelled. But they still seem that they can turn the game around. Fenerbahce had a great performance in the first half but we haven't seen a good performance in the second half so far. I still believe in them about not losing to Frankfurt here.

How did you know that Leicester city will win by 1-0. Because that’s what they’re playing currently. Leicester are playing fine and mainly hoping on counters. But I don’t think they can hold on till the end because Napoli are also pressing high and playing and building up dangerous attack. Leicester city need to utilize this home advantage because they can’t get a fair result in Italy. They need to bring in some fresh legs into the second half because the midfielders have been booked and can’t mark efficiently again. I hope they maintain this score line or score another goal. I want them to progress past this stage.

Galatasaray got a gift today from the Lazio goalkeeper which turned what would have been a very easy save into an own goal and then they just managed the game.It is great for them as they start with three points and makes them in a really comfortable position to pass the group stage.Not that many other interesting games here as the teams are not the best of their leagues.The only strong game which I would call the main event tonight is Leicester vs Napoli which Leicester is winning 1-0 so far.
